Saturday - December 17th (I think...) We hopped on our hour long (such a blessing compared to 6 hrs) flight to London, Heathrow and jumped on the tube to Earls Court! My excitement was bursting out of my exhausted seams. Our YHA hostel was just down the road - but the Hostel Karma Gods decided to take another laugh at Maja B, as our room was on the 4th floor. No lift. And 4th floor in London means 3 sets of narrow staircases for each floor. Plus that lovely 22.5 Kilo bag I helped her with once again. Fabulous. We had a 6-person (no heat until the 3rd night) room - thought this was a private?? Oh well.
After settling in, we took a long stroll up and around South Kensington, right passed the museums - particularly the National History Museum, where the ice skating rink was at its best with lights and music.
We grabbed some dinner at The Giraffe, where I got a yummy roasted pumpkin and beet rocket salad. Mom got a chicken club with chips. On our stroll home, we passed through my old stomping grounds on St. Alban's Grove and Young Street - it was a ghost town, but beautiful at night time. Some of the windows has Christmas trees twinkling. We stopped into Sainsbury's for some groceries to get us through the morning and headed back down the street to our hostel for bed!
